[QUOTE="Lil, post: 633501, member: 17309"] Read this again. Pretend you aren't the one writing it. Would you be angry if say, your sister or your best friend's kid behaved this way toward them? What would you tell them? My kid is a pain in the posterior...but if he spoke to me this way, if he [I]dared[/I] to raise a hand, he would be OUT. Oh he thrown fits and punched holes in his door and one time I smacked him on the back of the head (just an open-hand smack like you'd do joking) when we was having a fit and he turned nose to nose with me fist clenched. I looked him in the eye and said, "Don't. You. Dare." He didn't. He also left the house until he calmed down, which we require every time his voice raises. Since we made that rule, that he has to leave for at least 1/2 hour every time he shouts, he's only had to do so twice. There is NO excuse for her bullying you! Is SHE paying housing? Is SHE paying for the utilities? That is YOUR house! Don't let anyone bully you! The fact is, she is 18 years old and YOU are no longer obligated by law to give her anything! Every single thing she gets from you is a gift...if she behaves this way she clearly doesn't appreciate it. I think she would no longer be a person I'd feel like giving a gift to! This hasn't got a darn thing to do with what you did 2 years ago...which was completely and utterly justified. [/QUOTE]
